To provide an incentive for employees and new hires to accept positions requiring relocation, employers often pay for all or part of the expenses associated with the move. Costs covered by the employer usually include the packing, transport, and unpacking of household goods, transport of the employee and his or her family to the new location, and temporary living expenses. For employees who own homes, employers may also consider guaranteeing the sales price of the home and/or paying some of the costs associated with the sale or purchase of a new home.
